Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
I just started a job with Pinnacle Catering where I went through two hour long interviews and an orientation. To which I was hired and everything seemed good. Then all of a sudden after my first days work my boss called me 30 minutes before my shift and told me he needs to hear back from the insurance. I am a new driver and he knew this as I have the ad saved off indeed and it was for a G2 class driver. He then belittled me and got aggressive on the phone pretty much interrogating me about my previous driving history as I do not own my own car and thus have no insurance history. I borrowed my mother’s car to go in for that one day. He was belittling me for not being insured myself and proclaiming I lied to him when I had never claimed it was my car nor that I was insured.
He then contacted me and told me I am not coverable by his insurance because they require 3 years experience. But then went on calling me a liar and not taking any fault for his own mistake.
This caused me to have a panic attack, I live with generalized anxiety disorder and am diagnosed for such. He has caused me a lot of grief and worry now because I turned down other jobs in between. He is not owning up to his mistake and has claimed he will be paying me for one day while telling me he “never hired me in the first place.” Despite the fact that I worked a full day and did the orientation.
What can I do?
If you did not execute a contract that limit your entitlements to notice of termination, you may be entitled to payment in lieu of the notice of termination pursuant to the common law. I would recommend speaking with a lawyer to review your employment agreement and termination of employment.
